All the shopping posts on Fresh Basil may lead you to believe I have some sort of skill in this department. In reality, I'm terrible at deciding on something to purchase, and then I wage a long internal battle to convince myself to part with the cash necessary to complete said purchase. Plane tickets and restaurants are easy, but a couch?! Oh my.

That said, I would really like to make a few grown-up furniture purchases for the new apartment. I tend to lean heavily on neutrals, but I'm trying to branch out a little more. I made the top collage first, and was having so much fun, I made an alternative, lighted-up version, too!

so looking forward to seeing how the apartment search and decorating goes! we're also on the hunt for a new 'flat' and i'm SO SO SO looking forward to decorating - such that i'm spending oodles of time on antiquing websites and dreaming of colour schemes - it might help if we actually knew where we were living first right?
